You can directly install wordpress content slide plugin from your websites admin plugin section.

Add PHP code

To display WordPress content slide on your website you have to add following lines of code inside your themes .php files.

<?php if(function_exists('wp_content_slider')) { wp_content_slider(); } ?>

Example if you want to display this slider in your header then you have to edit the header.php file. Just open header.php from your current theme in any editor and add

<?php if(function_exists('wp_content_slider')) { wp_content_slider(); } ?>

lines at the location where you want to display the slider.

Slider Only On Home Page

In some cases you just want to display slider only on the home page in this case you have selected a page as home page from the settings->reading section.
And if your home page is using default page template then you have to add following lines of code in your page.php at the location where you want to display the slider.

<?php if(is_front_page()) { if(function_exists('wp_content_slider')) { wp_content_slider(); } } ?>

Using above code the slider will be displayed only on home page.

Slider on a Specific page

If you want to display slider on a specific page say ‘about’ then you have to use wordpress conditional tags

<?php if(is_page('about')) { if(function_exists('wp_content_slider')) { wp_content_slider(); } } ?>

Is it possible to use the content slider to rotate banners in the header and to place it with different images on a individual page?

Thanks.

    Thanks for the response. I guess the solution would be loading a second version of the content slider into a template with different names, etc.
    
    BTW, Great plug in.

This is a great plugin. But I was seeing a flash of all the images as they loaded — I fixed it by adding a height to the content slider div:

Hi

We are trying to use your very good looking plug in on a regular “page” or the “start page” of our site. We are using the “Atahualpa Theme”. I can’t figure out where to insert the php code to make the plugin to display.

Is it in the bodycode? What code do I use to publish the data on the specific page?

I think it is working on the website which you sent.

    i think you missed start of the php tag
    add following code.
    
    <?php if(is_page('Perda de gordura')) { if(function_exists('wp_content_slider')) { wp_content_slider(); } } ?>
    
    One more thing i think you added the code after the comment form. If you want the slider before the comment form then you have to add the code above the comment form code.

Hi. I’ve been able to customize the Content Slide quite a bit and I am very happy. However, I have one task that is giving me trouble.

I’ve prevented the title of the post from showing up and instead allow my excerpt text to appear. However, inherently the excerpt text is not hyperlinked to the post page. The thumbnail image is totally fine and hyperlinked. Is there a way, in the PHP file for example, to insert code which will activate the excerpt text as a hyperlink that directs to the particular post page?

  you have to edit the PHP code inside the content-slide php files.

Awesome plugin — seriously, I’m a fan of anybody who allows you to create sliders without having to create a new category for slider images.

That said — is there some way to attach captions to images using the custom image functionality? Great plugin regardless.

Hi

I am looking for a slideshow that can do the following:
1. I can add to multiple posts / pages.
2. Each page requires a different slideshow
3. Images are uploaded, not taken from posts.

Can this plugin be the answer?

Thanks for your time.
